The anne, ,ct,n a DIFFERENCE.

The women of past years wore de-
oollete gowns and danced the minuet;
The women of the present do likewise,
with great difference of manners.
Stately courtesy has given place
largely to gushing effusion. The wo-
man who is simple, natural, easy-in
short, her womanly-self-can only lis
ten and absorb the mixture of syllabub
md sense poured out by so-called $50
,iety women" The man who goes
from one house to another saying
pleasant things to the same people, in
lie same way, and with the same
ruthfulness, is repetition of his
grandfather, who did all this in the past.
